Mississippi Blue 42
I do dislike the references like, “reads like Elmore Leonard,” or “compares to Carl Hiaasen,” and similar hyperbolic blurbs.
But who can’t enjoy the holiest of holy being skewered by an insider?
College Football.
Death to the infidels!
I was wondering if it was a little heavy-handed to use the name of “Sutpen” and “Compson,” most probably allusions to Faulkner’s great Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi fictional family. It’s an obvious literary reference to one of the South’s greatest novelist.
Recently, I just watched an act of the updated comedy, “King of the Hill” that included a cartoon visit to the home of the Dallas Cowboys, a pinnacle in modern football.
Part of the novel visits there, and my imagery was way more exciting. Brilliant novel.
